Wrapped

Saturday, 13 April 2013

I've been meaning to try the saran wrap technique since I found out about it. Some week ago I finally got round to it. I wasn't loving the look while working on it and I struggled quite a bit with the cling film, it grabbed my base colour much more than I appreciated. Once the stamping was in place it clicked though. I like it when it turns out like that, uncertainty about where it's going and how it is going to look until you top coat it and then bam!

This is Sally Hansen White On as a base with a generous coat of Essie Blue Rhapsody on top and then patted with some cling film. As a base for something additional I like the saran wrap style, it was simple enough to do and meant little clean up. On its own I'm uncertain how I feel about it though, it doesn't show of the polishes you're wearing much. The fact that the Essie polish is metallic is barely distinguishable. Shame. Perhaps if you find shades that compliment each other real well?I used Bundle Monster BM-313 and a black stamping polish to give this look something more.
